Friends of Sandy Crawford, based in city within Dallas County, was the only political committee in the county with expenses during the first quarter of 2023.

It spent $3,254 on 11 vendors during the time period.

The largest expense was for Other Expenses to Office Depot, which is based in Springfield.

What’s known as “dark money”, which comes from political non-profits and shell corporations, has greatly increased expenditures and donations in recent elections to record-breaking highs.

Political campaign financial data is often updated, leading to a sometimes incomplete picture of a committee or candidate's finances.
